This is me too, after breaking my back in 3 places. The looks I get when I get out of a wheelchair or off a scooter. Even when I get out of my truck in a HC parking space. Evil looks are not going to improve my ability to walk. I’d appreciate it if I got credit for walking as much as I can.
YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME.

I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.

People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

Weird experience - just saw my 3 doors down neighbor on TV. Sheriff of Johnson Co, going into court this am for a hearing on charges against him for retaliation & abuse of office in a claim of sexual harassment.

I’m seeing a lot of comments about Tesla & CA’s threat to ban them. Y’all this has been going on since 2013/14. It’s always been self driving claims are false. Law suits settled out of court, NHTSA fined them & just opened another investigation. At what point does it become a crime?

Chickens are picking up where the armadillos left off. They’ve been eating out of armadillo holes from last night for an hour.

Iris, sitting on my leg (without an invitation), growling at Bruce. Not sure what that’s about. She’s anti-social, never gotten in my lap.

This so sad to watch. I may get irritated at chicken poop all over, but we have healthy happy free ranging chickens. Each one has its own special personality. They communicate with us, in their chicken ways, just like dogs, cats, horses & donkeys.
These chickens are going to be killed today💔They only lived for 6 weeks. Chickens can live for 10 years. So they lived 6/520 = ~1.1 % of their potential lifespan in a horrible shed. Never lived a natural life. Never saw their parents. Abuse of life and beings. #LiveVegan 🌱🙏

As Jung metaphorically expressed it, “A neurosis is an offended god.” What he meant is that an energy in us has been repressed, oppressed, split off, projected onto others, and thereby has been wounded or “offended.”~James Hollis

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔

A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

I’ve been thinking about this response I got yesterday, relative to all the men that took offense to my expertise over the last 50 years. I didn’t give him any advice. I offered information he doesn’t have & a different perspective. He blocked me.

No kidding. I’d like to know why I’m all of a sudden having to call 100 people to find out if my prescriptions are going to be covered by insurance & if not, why not. I’ve had to pay out of pocket for 3 drugs, after several days for “insurance delay”.
Y'all, I just want to get my medicine to stave off kidney failure; I do not want to call 100 different people to figure it out.

#GVerse #BreakingNews James Talarico just fact-checked Fox News host so brutally on partisan gerrymandering, he had to end the interview. This is how it's done, folks.

WTF? Freeze warning issued for area 2 hours south. If we had a freeze warning or freezing temp forecast, I missed it. Everything that got wet with rain is frozen solid this am, 26°. Hoses & tanks didn’t get winterized - may have a busted pipe in the barn.

Texas is being quietly reengineered into a system where voters have shrinking power, cities lose control over their own budgets, and courts can no longer check the executive. This is happening through constitutional traps most Texans never saw coming. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue
